Arriving in Style is the brainchild of Ian Walker and Kevin Packer, who share a love for classic vehicles. Their eclectic range of vehicles includes a Ford Model A hot rod from 1930 and a 1957 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, alongside a Harley Davidson and a milk float called Daisy. Among the requests they’ve accommodated in the past year are dressing up in steampunk-themed costumes. Ian says, “Arriving in Style is my way of sharing the joy of these vehicles with others, and I’m always happy to make the experience more special if I can. Whether it’s by dressing up or playing special music, nothing is too much trouble, and I love a challenge! I can’t wait to see what the next year brings.” Contact Arriving in Style to find out more on 07771 908 939 or at info@arrivinginstyle.co.uk TIME TO SHINE Bristol- and Cirencester-based retailer Titcombe Bespoke Jewellery is celebrating winning a prestigious Bespoke Business award, placing it among the best purveyors of custom-made jewellery in the UK and Ireland.
